SilencerCo Scythe Ti failures

[HuntHarder]

Using a Scythe? I had a guy PM me his injuries as well, but no Scythe and he is in litigation with Sico as well.

If my kid got scoped, I would probably sue them TBH. That can and usually does, leave a permanent scar.

If you mean my comment about TI cans in general? Yes, there are reports of Dead Air and OCL ti can failures. I can't personally verify but they reported. If thermal breakdown is a negative aspect to TI, then possibly is should not be used in suppressors as they do tend to get HOT. Just an observation.

Ti isn’t a problem with cans. Thin, untested, junk cans are.

Has anyone actually been hurt by a can letting go?

I appreciate unvarnished opinions but am not ready to go that far yet.

At this point, lots of us are stuck with a 'suspect' can that one year ago was the darling of the 'net, including here. I guess worst case, we may have an oversized/expensive 22LR can that can hopefully survive a couple .233 rounds occasionally for a clean out.

Gotcha, so no serious injuries that you know of with a Scythe Ti letting go.

There was a kid who cut his eyebrow….theres been several people who are like “yeah I know of a bunch of people who got hurt….,but I won’t give details…..”

Sure. You do what ever you like. But I’m not guessing on whether Ti cans are good suppressors. I’ve shot and been present for testing for well over a hundred thousand rounds from Ti cans.

No it wasn’t. It was a bunch of people that got sucked into “specs” with no understanding. When the Scythe was brand new I stated that people need to be very cautious. I’ve wanted about multiple cans- but still, people can’t look past “specs” and see the lack of testing. I understand that you, and others may not have the ability or experience to know what to believe, but some do.

Welded cans, especially very thin and light Ti cans do have more issues than steel cans. Properly designed printed Ti cans do not. Overall they are the most consistent and reliable suppressors available.

Sorry, appreciate your input but you are not the final on all matters firearms related. Many other 'experts' here and elsewhere were highly praising the Scythe. I know you from other forums that you no longer frequent when your grasp exceeded your reach.....

If you predicted potential problems initially with this can, then congrats, but you are not telling me that the Scythe bandwagon wasn't rolling at full steam with a variety of experts (shills?) praising it. I waited a full year to get one; guess I didn't wait long enough.

Apples to oranges, but I was 100% gonna buy a Scythe til I was picking up a rifle at a local shop and they had a Scythe I was able to lay hands on. After fondling it I felt that it was fragile and tinny and ended up reevaluating and getting the XC. Dodged a bullet maybe but point being there was some red flags and not everybody praised it.
